``` COVID-19 ``` As the world continues to grabble with the covid-19 pandemic, the most important message remain relevant: preparation is key. For more than a decade, the royal government of Cambodia, particularly the ministry of health( MOH), the world health organization and partner has been working to strengthen the healthy security system in the contest of the overall health system. As we learn more every day about COVID-19 and how to tackle the virus, the country continues to improve its preparation. “A long as the virus is circulating everywhere in any village, province or country\_every one is at risk,” said Dr Ailan, WHO representative to combative. “Preparation always pays off. If we strengthen the health system, it will benefit us now and into the future **Collective action is crucial** In Cambodia and around the world, COVID-19 preparedness requires all of society to work together to isolate, test and care for people with COVID-19, AS well as trace and quarantine their contract. Information sharing between provinces, national authorities and international bodies is crucial. Local preparedness and ensuring continuity is an essential health service. MOH and WHO officials visited health care’s facilities, including provincial hospitals and other operation health districts, aa well as border crossing, quarantine centres and villages. They met with provisional governors, provisional COVID-19 committees, public health directors. **Health workers said about what different preparation has been made** **“** at first, we felt nervous because the disease is deadly and contagious,” said Sok Vandy chief of amper health centre. Throughout Cambodia, health care authorities, with the support from WHO, have focused on several common priority areas, including multisource surveillance; early COVID-19 detection and contact tracing; health care preparedness; risk communication and community engagement at local and international level. A local solution to local challenges Each province has faced its own set of challenges. In March and April, more than 100000 Cambodian workers crossed from Thailand into Cambodia. With this influx of people, provisional authorities expand their quarantine management and testing service. Across the country, WHO helped to train almost 3000 members of the rapid responses team( RRTs) who are public health staff, on the COVID-19 definition. **We can all play a part** As provincial health department and operational districts take a greater role in offering health service to Cambodians, multispectral coordination and partnership at national and international levels become even more important. Yet the COVID-19 does not only demand a whole of government approach- but it also demands a whole society approach, where the public take responsibility to prevent transmission. Resultantly we can prevent COVID-19 spread by taking individual responsibility and measurements. We all know that the government can do their best job to control the public but in some cases, it may not be possible for the government to do that, so here we need to take the responsibility. The first thing is that the government made rules and regulations or SOPs should be followed strictly to safe yourself and your families. We need to understand and inform other people who are not educated or don’t know much about COVID-19. These are the basic thing we can do and these are not that much difficult for us to follow.
